Matte Kudasai, by King Crimson, from _Discipline_. Also on various Compilation CDs and _The Acoustic Adrian Belew_.
The song is in implied E major. This is the arpeggiated rhythm part Fripp Plays behind Belew's improvised slide guitar solos and the lyrics. Listen To the song to get how things fit together. I play it kind of like Adrian On _The Acoustic Adrian Belew_. The song is in three time, and really Swings. If you're playing it on an acoustic, it should sound decent. If You're playing it on an electric, use a _very_ light distortion (mostly for Warmth), light chorus/flange, a long delay, and compression. It will probably Sound OK on a plain clean guitar with some reverb, but I thought I'd give you The full list! I recently saw Crimson live and verified my guesses, so I think This is pretty close.
[A verse with no words, Adrian solos in E major and its related modes with A slide. He also puts lots of slide licks in when there are no words.]

She waits in the air,
Chrous Riff 1b) Matte Kudasai.
She sleeps in a chair,
In her sad America.

Verse Riff: (*)
(*) Fripp improvises on this bit, so try different things out. Mostly Triple stops. e.g.,
__5-sl-7__5-sl-7_|___ __5-sl-7__5-sl-7_|___ __4-sl-6__4-sl-6_|___ _________________|___ _________________|___ 0________________|__0 etc.

(Note: this fingering is really tough. I recommend doing stretching Exercises before attempting it. I recommend using a thumb fret for the Bass string, but if you can finger it some other way, go for it!)

NOTE: I forgot to indicate that you need to play each measure twice on Chrous Riffs 1a and 1b. Please edit the file accordingly, replacing the Line titled "segue -> Chorus Riff 1a Chorus Riff 1b" in the original with The lines below.
